Alderman of Ward 2, Chris Gard is running for the Missouri State House of Representatives. I have done my best to ignore his campaign simply because I want him to stay in Wentzville where he has been instrumental in redirecting our city's government. He is running in District 63 against a Mr. Bryan Spencer and after looking into this race, I noticed something that pissed me off, imagine that!
Alderman Gard has been a hard fighter for Wentzville and has had sack enough to stand up against the dysfunctional status qua. I have been impressed with his knowledge of government and attitude regarding difficult questions in our local government. He has been unafraid to address situations that previous Boards brushed under the rug or glazed over. Citizens of Ward 2 should be proud of his record here in Wentzville.
Gard's opponent; Mr. Spencer of St. Charles is the source of my problem. After looking into the list of reprobates supporting him, I can no longer ignore Chris Gard for State Representative. Gard is a resident of Wentzville and a strong advocate of its welfare in the County.
Every Wentzville voter should get behind Gard in his bid for the House of Representatives if for no other reason than that our own Mayor Guccione supports his St. Charles opponent. Guccione talks about his dedication to the growth and welfare of Wentzville but openly supports a St. Charles citizen to represent us in the Missouri State House of Representatives. Guccione even let him come into a public meeting to get a photo-op and campaign on city time. I have to wonder about a Mayor of any city who would support an out-of-towner over a hometown citizen and dedicated Wentzvillian but once again, this is Guccione we're talking about.
As much as I want Alderman Gard to keep his seat in Wentzville, our city needs support at the state level and who is better to give us that needed support; Chris Gard or a St. Charles citizen? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out but since it's such a no-brainer, I shouldn't expect our Mimesis Guccione to grasp the situation—it makes too much sense.
Guccione told me (when we were still on speaking terms) that he'd like to be a state representative, the problem is that he has no support at that level. The same thing happened when former Wentzville Mayor; Vickie Boedeker ran for the job—she ran into a steam roller. He is supporting Spencer hoping he gets elected and then he could coat-tale right into the state job, of course if Gard wins, he doesn't have a chance. Spencer is supported by a dedicated, cut-throat bunch of ultra-liberals who will tell any lie and smear any opponent, to get one of their own in office. Their agenda is not good government, it's influence.
Our Mayor should be ashamed of himself turning his back on Wentzville and a Wentzville candidate to support a left-wing liberal from another city. This does not surprise me, I have a good handle on the back-room snake that is Nick Guccione. The questions should be: Why is any Mayor of any city openly supporting a candidate for State Representative? What's his motive? Who the hell is this guy who calls himself Mayor of Wentzville?
I am not sure who gave you information that Brian Spencer does not live in Wentzville. He lives in my supdivision off of Point Prairie and we ARE in the City of Wentzville. I know you will appologize for getting bad information.
ReplyDeleteIt is my understanding that Mr. Spencer has a Post Office Box for a mailing address, has a home in St. Peters, and recently (2 days before filing) bought a condominiem in Wentzville in which his sister lives. Mr. Spencer knows nothing about Wentzville other than the Mayor (who knows nothing about Wentzville) and the support he trying to muster.
DeleteI'm sorry but there will be no apology and I have no desire to discuss him after this. To make it perfectly clear, Chris Gard has more talent in his little finger than Spencer and all his left-wing whacko supporters, which includes Guccione.
Hello Anonymous, Went to a St Charles County Pachyderm Club meeting in June, where St Peters: Bryan Spencer confessed to a room full of fellow republicans that he DOESN'T LIVE in Wentzville. He owes a property in Wentzville which he purchased in February 2012, one week prior to filing for the state rep. race. His sister lives in that house NOT BRYAN SPENCER. And this from Bryan Spencer's own mouth! I'm sure The Wentzvillian will wait for your apology.

DeleteI am confused. I searched Bryan Spencer on the computer, some interesting facts surfaced. Why is Mayor Guccione endorsing the same candidate as Paul Lambi? I've listened to Nick Guccione bloviate for years about how different he is or was from the former mayor, told us some interesting facts to get our vote. The bigger issue is his young man's gumption to come into our district and try to represent the people in it. He hasn't paid our taxes, helped our neighbors, or shopped our stores.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Chris Gard people want to trash the candidate running with him. I would have thought this group would have learned a lesson from Leon Tow but now I am finding out they aren't as smart as they try to convince people they are. Voters DON'T like trash talk. I was going to vote for Chris Gard but won't now. Keep it up and you will lose this one just like Tow.
ReplyDeleteThis is funny! Gooch, Sherwood, and Pritchett trashed their opponents more than any mayor or alderman candidate in Wentzville history and low and behold, he duped 248 people into believing his bullshit.
DeleteAs far as trash talk by Gard's people, what trash is being talked. Here I only see the truth. You and your group of thugs are absolute horse shit!
